SPEECH MEANS OF ATTRACTING ATTENTION WITHOUT NAMING THE ADDRESSEE (ON THE MATERIAL OF THE UKRAINIAN AND LEZGINIAN LANGUAGES) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2015. Issue 10 (163). P. 55-61

The paper is devoted to the study of verbal formulae of attracting attention, which, without naming the addressee, encourage him to response. In Ukrainian and Lezgin speech communication such function is realized, as a rule, by interjections, particles and imperatives used by the addresser either because of uncertainty or extreme generalization of social indications of the addressee, or due to the lack of necessity (volition) of realizing such a nomination under certain speech conditions. The study resulted in determination of the fact that being the ethnos’ spiritual culture markers of a certain kind, such addresses are marked by ethnographic originality.
